Hls with bunny.net stops when screen is off

alecos 1 year, 3 months ago

Hi, I’ve a problem. I’m a pro version user of FV player.

I need Audio playlist, protected, that are usable in background like others players do (mainly when screen off).

I get my audio from bunny.net, stream, and i play thought FV player.

But when iOS and Android screen gets off, for any reason (who accidentally lock the screen, who have a automatic screen lock after x seconds, ecc) the player stops.
For this reason some my clients tell me my service is unusable, and I have to find a solution.

I hope someone can give me a workaround to solve this issue, or I have to forget FV player.

Best regards.

Hello Alecos,

I tested with Chrome on Android 13 and the audio would continue playing even though mobile screen turned off after a while.

If it’s a video, then it won’t go turn off the screen, so nothing stops the video.

If you lock the phone on purpose and the screen turns of, I can then continue playing the video on the lock screen. I was testing with Safari on iPhone with iOS 15.7 and with Chrome on Android 13.

I tested the HLS audio too and it would not stop. Please let us know what mobile and what browser did you use with what operating system.

Thanks,
Martin
